How impressed are folks that Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama again? Juan Williams only a little, Bill Kristol and Charles Krauthammer? Not at all.
Colin Powell is a great, good man and a real courageous patriot, but he will not swing ten people with that endorsement.
Had Colin Powell switched sides - now, that would have been a story.
Even though a Time poll released Wednesday shows the president leading Ohio by 5% with 49% of the vote, the Real Clear Politics average is just a 2.1% Obama lead. Chuck Todd reports that the campaigns think it's a tied race there.
Everything is tightened from what I understand from the campaigns. You don't yet hear bluster from folks that they're winning Ohio. I'm getting a sense from the Democratic side acknowledging this race got alot tighter...

The president wants to make sure those wind turbines are manufactured here in China. Just like A123's batteries and Solyndra's solar panels.
Check out this column, as a green energy guy talks about how dumb it is to give government loan guarantees to green energy companies.
The problem is that the government is helping to pick the winners and losers and, well, even venture capitalists aren't that good at doing it sometimes. The government definitely isn't. Why should one company, like Solyndra, be deemed worthy of below-market loan rates while another company struggles to access capital? If this could be done efficiently, fairly, and most importantly, with a solid return, then it might be one of the tactics to bridge the gap between the incumbent trillion dollar fossil fuel industry which is heavily, heavily subsidized, and the budding, better, and less well capitalized challenger (solar). Unfortunately, it can't, so it's not.
The paths to victory for both campaigns are laid out as CNN updates its electoral map, giving North Carolina to Mitt Romney.
The campaign field coordinator for Virginia congressman Jim Moran - his son, Patrick Moran - is caught in a video sting encouraging an 'actor' to fraudulently vote in place of registered, but inactive, voters. At first, Moran thinks it might be too much work to be productive, but then he starts giving advice on how to forge documents and circumvent the law.
The sting was conducted by Jame O'Keefe. Stick around for the whole video - it's better in its entirety than the clips at the beginning.
Mitt tries to create an air of inevitability that will help lead to victory in a new web video called Momentum.

... we borrow $4 billion every day, much of it from China... There isn't much time left, and the future of our country is at stake...
AB Stoddard, who writes for The Hill, is usually pretty mild mannered. But she wasn't calm in her assessment of the president's debate performance Monday.
I thought that President Obama at times was defensive and a little bit desperate, I thought he was obnoxious... But I thought he won the debate in that he didn't lose the debate... he didn't fail...
